Sometimes I found that drag option is not working in the excel which is essential to replicate the formula on all the cell in one go. By default, drag-and-drop editing is turned on so that you can drag the pointer to move and copy text. This option can be turned off.
The user can enable or disable this feature in the Microsoft excel as per their requirement however it is a very essential feature to replicate the formula in all the desired cells. It is not possible without enabling this feature in the Microsoft Excel.
